Pak need to knock over SL not much later than tea today to keep in with a chance, and even then a slim chance. Batting should be reasonably good, well into tomorrow.
Weather forecast not too bad today and tomorrow. |
|
By:
It looks like Pak will bowl SL out today.
Generally poor from SL. They deserve to lose this. |
|
By:
3 days left and I can't see us needing more than 2 to finish this. Unless Pak manage to go big 2nd inn, which I doubt as SL bowling better than I anticipated.

Is there anyone at the ground with a weather update please?
Cannot see this being a draw either if the weather can hold out. 180 overs max needed for a result even if Pakistan put up a bit of a fight. But its test cricket and I try not to back short odds.... |

I am hearing that it could be an on-time start here in Colombo! If so, amazing, amazing work by the 120-strong ground
|

hope that helps !!
|
|
By:
Thanks do appreciate it. The odds do seem to suggest that cheers.

Had another small lay of the draw. If not much time is lost to the weather then there should be a better than evens chance of a result. Not a lot damage if it doesn't come off and will cash out if there is a significant upswing in the draw price tomorrow.

Its a waiting game foin, precipitation model not great for next two days, they had 60 overs today in though !!!

There will be cloudy skies with showers at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts. Heavy rain falls (more than 150mm) can be expected in the Colombo, Kalutara, Galle, Ratnapura and Kegalle districts. Thundershowers may develop at a few places in the Eastern and Uva provinces during the afternoon or evening.

By:
the above was issued today at 12 noon, I have no idea when the 150mm of rain is expected though !!!
|
|
By:
is one of those seldom occasions when everything matches up, so will see King !!!
|
|
By:
Point is - local forecasters warning and we've been incredibly lucky in this test to date.
|
|
By:
The groundsmen did a great job this morning, it was like a lake !!! Think the game only needs 3/4 sessions to be played for a result
 |
|
By:
Also the problem of light reading needing to be above 6.8 otherwise they stop play. On balance reckon 1.9 on the draw might represent value
|
|
By:
Thanks for the weather updates, Please tell the truth. Draw price steady since stumps which suggests no change in the outlook. Will wait and see for now. When I wake up tomorrow it will already be lunch in Colombo so some change is likely by then.

Pak were too big all day yesterday and still are. If we get most of the overs in, they are a decent chance here. 200 will be challenging for SL batting last on day 5, although Pak a bowler down.
|
|
By:
tbh, I don't like the look of today's weather.
|
|
By:
am just up, great to see some play, is Russel your new friend King
 |
|
By:
Keeping the faith worked quite well, hope quite a few others took advantage of the low draw price yesterday.
|
|
By:
SL need to get about 50 overs tomorrow to win. Rain forecast around start of play. Should be volatile.
|
|
By:
I'm satisfied with what I have now and won't be gambling it on another trade tomorrow.
Should be fun and games for some though. |
|
By:
well done Foinavon, Sri Lanka still need to score 150 runs to win, and beat the weather !!!
|
|
By:
Amazing this one.
Still very hard to predict with weather potentially going to do anything. 3.5 to lay on Day 5 - Evening vs a back of the Draw feels quite tempting. |
|
By:
looking at the weather forecasts on Google from 5am-8pm tomorrow, rain predicted to poor 74%-99%
|
|
By:
Official SL met forecast,
'Fair weather' and 20mm rain from 08:30. Go figure. |
|
By:
Odds all over the place too. Draw went from 6.6 to 4, and now back out again to 6's. I don't think the punter knows what is happening either. O to be there at the ground.
|

By:
I laid all my SL profit yesterday at 1.21. Hoping for a mega payaday, fingers crossed. Massive green on Pak and the draw. Going to be a volatile day & I will be laying SL all day. There could be a huge gubbing today as any rain that falls will be heavy & will wipe out a session at a time! Could be a 100-1000/1 shot today!
From the ground: Umar Farooq Kalson @kalson 12m12 minutes ago Sri Lanka it rained all night. it still dark outside. |

By:
Good Luck Jucel, well not really because for me a Sri Lanka win is the best options. AM thinking of laying some of it off as well. REally hard to say what is going to happen> Will be interesting to see the approach SL take when they do get out to bat. They could (not going to I think) get these runs in 20 overs if they go for it..... T20 approach.
|
|
By:
If we do lose significant overs early, SL will be under pressure to level the series, which could well result in wickets and a Pak win. Pity the Pak tail didn't make a few extra runs. tbh, they were terrible. One of them looked like he was deliberately trying to nick off.

I'm all green for decent amounts, and not looking to make any trades.
I think we will get a delayed start and lose maybe 10 to 20 overs. It then depends if rain redevelopes later, and your guess is as good as mine on that. Hope it pays off for you, jucel. |

Looks like its going in the right direction for you jucel. Im all green too with a bias on SL, but its test cricket and anything can and often does happen.
|

By:
thanks Jucel, managed to lay some SL at 1.42 after the tweet feed. Cheers mate.

taken profit at 1.65 and then reassess later. Seems to have plateaued at this price based on that pic

The pic did not actually look too threatening. Took profit at 1.55 and 1.69. Cheers all round.
|

By:
And back down to 1.35 again. Interesting what a few pictures and tweets will do to a market.
